Can that guy please get out of every fucking news story in the world? He’s like a poisoned drop of ink in a glass of water that spreads and spreads until the whole fucking glass is filled black with poison. Except the glass of water is actually the entire zeitgeist.
Yeah. But too many billionaires do the same, they just manage to be invisible or have a better image crafted. They are the new lords and ladies of our civilization with incredibly, unaccountable and undemocratic power.
Oh look, another Peter Thiel vs. Gawker situation. Except Disney has much better lawyers than Gawker did.
Let’s see who blinks first. I’m guessing it won’t be Disney.
And also that the Hulkster actually had a case. Gawker repeatedly refused to comply with court orders to take Hulk’s tuna can video down.
This is just a wanna-be martyr who got fired because she couldn’t keep her goddamn mouth shut about her stupid conspiracy theories and ride the Mouse’s cash train. But hey, watching Muskie burn even more money is always entertaining, so fucking let it rip.
I get that Hulk had a case, but he couldn’t have afforded to bring it himself. So Peter Thiel, who has endless money and an axe to grind with Gawker for outing him, funded it.
Which is sort of similar here, except that Musk’s axe to grind is because Disney stopped giving Twitter money and is “woke,” so it’s even more petty.
It was more about who is funding the case than whether the case has merit.
The PayPal mafia really is enjoying living up to the name.
This is not the same at all. Disney did not out anything private about her or Musk. They also did not publish revenge porn of her. She is a public transphobe and a Holocaust denier.
Musk vs The Mouse
Mouse Musk
eau de toilette
Not to be confused with The Mouse and The Mask.
What about The Mouse and the Motorcycle?
Disney has a lot of conduct clauses in their contracts. Or at least they used to years ago when a couple friends worked for them.
I performed at Disney World in my high school chorus and my contract had conduct clauses.
It also gave them the right to use my image and voice “in perpetuity and throughout the universe.”
Oh man, how many images of high schoolers etc. does Disney have the license for? That’s an AI training treasure trove right there.
universe
“Uh, I’m gonna need you to specify this universe, or all possible universes - yeah in writing - no, I haven’t been to any other universes but jeeze, “through-out” isn’t exactly explicit and - hello? hello?”
Nah that’s a legit clause. It also reserve to Disney a license to your publicity in any medium, tangible or intangible, now known or unknown. Common language for entertainment contracts.
so you’re saying it covers all universes?
Oh no, her right to not suffer the consequences of her actions was infringed. She should be allowed to say whatever she wants and no one should be able to get upset, they have to accept it, it’s not like other people have rights, only her.
Why sue? Doesn’t she make enough money with her residuals from the Hunter Biden bio-pic?
As much as I enjoyed her character, her side drama wasn’t worth it. :(
Her character was fun, but I didn’t think she handled the “deeper” scenes where they tried to fill out her character.
I loved the show, though, and thought she had potential for future seasons. I don’t miss her not being on the show, and knowing she’s a nutjob erases any sympathy I’d have for her getting Mandy’d.
When are these people going to learn that you never fuck with The Mouse.
Why do all these fucking propoganda parrots think their maveriks? Bitch, you aint a radical thinker, you got fired for reposts.
Elon has super weird tits
We don’t need to body shame Elon. There are scads of things we can behavior shame him on, and that has a chance of positively affecting the world (not him, he’ll never see this, but someone out there might see this and reconsider thinking he’s cool.)
I’m sad that a Lego set came with her minifig. I’m more sad an almost badass Star Wars chick fell to the dark side.
Businesses should be able to fire anyone they want, but not ME!
Part of me really wants to hate watch that anti woke action movie she promised everyone at the time.
The suit details that Carano was required by Disney to meet with a representative from the LGBTQ+ group Glaad after online behaviour that was seen as anti-trans, yet she refused. She was then asked to meet with a group of LGBTQ+ Disney employees but again refused and was fired soon after.
Girl…you were put on a Performance Improvement Plan. You didn’t complete it. You were fired as a result. It would happen at my job, too. They don’t want to give money to people who will make them look bad. Most places don’t. You probably signed a lot of paperwork agreeing to do or not do a bunch of shit and then you did it.
Was that like…your first job or something?
Also the demand she meet with queer coworkers was clearly an attempt to communicate that she was creating a hostile workplace for coworkers based on protected statuses.
And it should be noted that politics are intentionally not protected because otherwise black listing communists would be illegal
“Let them fight!”
MechaMouse vs. Qzilla
Hate speech or fascist speech has to be repressed. There should be legal recourse but we are seeing now how the unfiltered and amplifying of profitable “polarizing” messages help fascism spread. It’s almost too late.
*Your support of storm troopers has been noted and your account has been shadow banned to repress the pro-fascist commentary.
